pg119 essay first draft(Tae Eun, Kwon)

Two amusement parks   When I was a kid, amusement parks were a world full of wonder and adventure. I could meet characters from movies, eat special foods like cotton candy or huge lollipops, ride thrilling attractions, and see wonderful parades. As I grew up, amusement parks aren't as fascinating as it was before, but still I enjoy going to two similar but different parks-Lotte world and Everland- with my friends. Both are one of the largest amusement parks in Korea. According to both websites, Lotte World has 42 attractions and Everland has 44. It includes thrillers like rollercoaster, waterslides, Viking, bumper-car and some other that kids can't ride, and other attractions that kids can also ride. In both parks, the rollercoasters, Atlantis(Lotte World) and T-Express(Everland), are the best attractions. As they're an amusement park, there are more than just attractions. Every season, they have different parades with themes such as samba, Halloween, Christmas and other special events around the year. One interesting thing is that many foreigners participate in these parades. Maybe the company prefers foreigners since they give some kind of exotic image and make the parade and the park's image more mystic. Although the two are in the same category(amusement park), they are somewhat different. As Lotte World is in Seoul, almost in the middle of Jamsil, the size isn't large enough to put other things rather than the attractions. But as Everland is in Yong-in, it has plenty of space to put a safari, theme parks and some gardens. Also, in Everland, they have a big scale fireworks show at night. However, Lotte World, for its local limitations, they have laser shows instead of fireworks. In conclusion, both amusement parks have many things to do, but are different a little. Lotte World is in Seoul, so it's easy to go ride some attractions. Everland has lots of things to see besides riding attractions, so it's good to go as a short trip. As each of them has its own advantages, we can choose where to go according to the purpose of the visit.
